44 kp/h avarage for the first hour, quite fast. Looks like this will be a great race!

Fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[michaeld]

Looks like the spanish guys are having a kicking-and-bottle-throwing fight at the back. Pretty bad behaviour in front of the fans.

Linus Gerdemann kicks a Caisse rider, who chucks a bidon at the German in retaliation!

 

[Tyke1968]

FIGHT!

Very amusing handbags scuffle the highlight so far.

Quebec Worlds 2015. hadn't heard that one yet.

ah, candidate. figures.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Just watched a bit, though finale with those short steep climbs. But a bit too short to really split up things.
Expect Hagen to win in a sprint, or a Voeckler-type rider in a late escape

This is the first time EBH races against Peter Sagan...time to find out who's the greatest talent!

Judguing by his luck this season. Ebh will come 2nd or 3rd.

This is one of the best races in the world to watch live. There arent too many fans so you can easily find a space, but enough to create a good atmosphere. Its a course so you get to see the cyclists come by 15 times. There is a steep hill on which you can watch them go by slowly and really give them support. And most importantly there are shops right behind you, so you can pop in for a cofee, maybe even see it on tv, and then come back out when the riders go through.

I think Kirby and Magnus are showing why they arent such a bad commentary team. Issues covered so far include expansion of cycling around the world, types of bike, Gt riders for sky to sign, World Championships, and ive only been watching for 10 minutes. Far more interesting than the stuff Harmon talks to himself about, with Kelly occasionaly deciding to join in.

Haha, just saw that fight in replay. Well, we are in the land of icehockey so I guess it's only to be expected...

Man, what happened? The break totally exploded.

Fuglsang upped the pace a bit and the weaklings dropped

You see that Astana guy go down? He was just riding by himself and just went down. It wasn't even in a turn. Weird.

That is a replay from the beginning of the race
He just hit a bump in the road (you could see it in the middle)

Ivan Basso abandons.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Basso quits the race

Basso quits the race

How many k's to go?

Team Sky is probably doing the same mistake they did in Eneco tour. They are doing all the chasing right now and it might result in an isolated EBH for the final. Lots of other teams don't have to chase at all as they have riders in the breakaway.
